“A
new body?” Hank Anderson held the phone to his ear. “Christ. You’re kidding. All
right. We’re on our way.” He set the phone on the receiver and stared at it.
Then he looked up at Connor waiting on the other side of his desk. “New victim
was just found at the dumping ground we discovered last week.”
Connor’s
expression grew dim, his LED going straight from blue to red.
“Estimated
time of death was about six and a half hours ago. We didn’t even get a missing
person report yet.”
Hank
stood and shrugged on his coat. “Better go check it out.”

Hank stood over
Connor as he analyzed the newest victim.
The
android stood up, keeping his gaze on the fresh body. “It matches the pattern.”
Lieutenant
Anderson crossed his arms. “Why would he use the same place to dump the body…?”
He looked at Connor. “Is it possible he doesn’t know we found it?”
Connor’s
LED circle spun quickly, flickering from red to yellow. “No…This area has had
cops out here every day trying to track him…” Connor faced Hank. “I think it’s
a display of power. He’s arrogant. He’s telling us that we can’t stop him.”
